Their business Booming

Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at j. G.
Gibson's Drug Store as their giving
away to their customers of so many free
trial bottles of DR.. Kings New DiscOve-
ry for Consumption. Their trade is
simply enormous in this very valuable
article from the fact that it always cures
and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size 81. Every
bottle warranted.

Station Burned. The p

Station burned. The passenger
station of the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road at Charlestown was completely de-
stroyed by fire last Sunday morning, the
flames having been discovered in the
waiting room at the north end Of the
building about half. past three o'clock.
Nothing in the building was saved, and
all the records. books and furniture
of the station were destroyed. The loss
is estimated at 81, 1000; insurance 81 900.
1t is not known how the fire originated,
but it is likely that it caught from the
stove or pipe. This makes the third or
fourth station burned at this end Of the
line within the past few years, and it is
probable that the construction of the
tlues is faulty. Mr.. George Kelsey, for
merly of this place, is the agent at

Napoleon's Mistake.

There is no use denying 1.-THE great
mass of the French people were nj least
rs despotically governed in the days of
the convention and the terror and di-
rectory as IN those of the consulate and
the empire. But the convention and
the directory had, in spite of all eNces-
ses, gained enormous practical benefits,
initiated sweeping and imperatively
needed reforms, for the French people:
and not one of these was ever lost sight
of by Napoleon. 1t was the introduce
ton of these reforms and benefits into
the constitutions and governments of
the countries composing the empire
that gave the new congeries of states
what Of stability and of unity it pos
sessed. The hostility. constant and
bitter. of three reactionary monarch
ies-Russia, Austria and Prussia
would have tended to soIidify and
strengthen the French empire if only it
had been the chief thought Of the head
of that empire to keep what he gained
and to content himself with the aston
ishing success which, in SO brief a
period, his ability and good fortune
had secured.-From '.Some Iilustra-
tons of Napoleon and HIS Times" by

Our powers Of perceiving
So dull and so dead,
They simply extend to the objects about

In passion, and pain, and rcmorse do we

Creating, yet terribly hating, our hells

the marks
OF the long Summer shining.
We're dying, not living:
Our senses shut up, and our hearts faint and
cold:
UNFOLDING old things just because they are
old;
Our good spirits grieyiDg,
We suffer our springs
OF promise TO pass without sowing the land,
And hungry and sad in the harvest-time
stand,
Expecting good things!
Alice Cary.
